Your support changes lives every day. For Ed Swartz, it led to a correct diagnosis
and potentially life-saving treatment for stroke.
Te trouble started with the ring and pinky fngers on Eds right hand. Ed, an active
outdoorsman, grandfather and muscle car enthusiast, recalls the annoying symptoms.
I just couldnt control those two fngers. I thought it was from a pinched nerve in my back.

Seton Williamson patient Ed Swartz

I am thrilled to be a part of the Central Texas medical community, said Dr. Bradley Boone,
who relocated to Austin earlier this year. A vascular surgeon who practices at Seton Williamson
and other area hospitals, Dr. Boone is one of the physicians who treated Ed Swartz (featured
on the cover). Dr. Boone left his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi to join Cardiothoracic
and Vascular Surgeons, one of the largest practices in the country. It is a great time to be
in vascular surgery. Technology is expanding rapidly and allowing us to do less invasive
procedures with fewer risks of complications. Te decision to leave his hometown was not an
easy one, but Dr. Boone, who has fve children, has no regrets. My family and I consider this
a dream-come-true opportunity.

Hit from Out of the Blue
Continued from Cover
Ed visited his chiropractor for some adjustments, but a week
later his fngers were worse. It was strange because I never felt
any pain, none!
Ed visited an urgent care center near his home in Hutto. Te
doctor there couldnt fnd any explanation for his symptoms and
sent him home with the advice to visit a back specialist just
to be safe.
Te next morning things got serious. I woke up and tried to
talk but my speech was slurred, he described. Tis time, with a
little encouragement from his wife, Ed didnt take any chances
and went to the emergency department at Seton Medical Center
Williamson. Experts there quickly discovered that Ed had
sufered two strokes and admitted him.
Here I am, a healthy 55-year-old guy, fnding out that both
my carotid arteries are 95 percent blocked, said Ed. I was
totally amazed.
Eds high triglycerides and family history put him at risk. His
brother died from a stroke at the age of 50.
Two cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons operated on Ed.
Dr. Bradley Boone opened and cleaned out his left carotid
artery, but not before showing Ed a video of what the procedure
involved. Dr. Boone
could tell that seeing
the video would help
me. I was enlightened
and had no worries
whatsoever.
Days later, Dr. Daniel
Fortes inserted a stent
into Eds right carotid
artery to ensure good
blood fow. Ed was
impressed by the entire
care team at Seton
Williamson. Te
doctors and nurses
were awesome and
ready to do anything
to help me.
Ed recovered quickly
and walks three to
four miles every other
day. Hell participate
in therapy at Seton
Williamson to further
improve his speech
and fnger movements.
And to prevent future
episodes, he eats a low fat, low cholesterol diet with plenty of
fruits and vegetables and takes medication.
Theres a message here thats so important to share: know
the signs for stroke and seek expert help like the care
available at Seton Williamson, said Ed. It can hit you from
out of the blue, and Im lucky to be alive.
Ed enjoys restoring his 1965 Ford Mustang.

I love to give! Tese are the thoughtful words Geneva Dalton
shared with Tim Aronson and Becky Fox of Seton Highland Lakes
Hospital recently when talking about why she made a gift through
her will.
I have been so blessed, and I want to share that with others.
Because of what Seton does helping those in need receive
the best care when they need it most I decided to direct a
percentage of my estate to Seton Highland Lakes, after I take care
of my family, she says.
Geneva learned about giving back from her mother, Vastie Holmes,
who also served as the inspiration for Geneva to connect with
Seton Highland Lakes.
My mother instilled in me the importance of giving back and
helping others. I honor her with this gift and see how this is such a
ftting legacy for me and my family.
Geneva has been involved with Seton Highland Lakes since 2008.
She decided to make a gift through her estate plan that will beneft
those we serve, well into the future.
She shares this news in hopes that you may decide to do something
similar, and experience, as she says, how good it makes you feel,
knowing that you will be helping many others through Seton.
A bequest, which is a gift made through your will or trust, is one
of the easiest ways to help Seton serve your community. Bequests
support our mission because they create a legacy for you while
enabling nurses, physicians and other staf at Seton to continue
their compassionate work for years to come.
When each of us takes a moment to draft a will with an attorney,
our loved ones, friends and charitable organizations have a clear
picture of our legacy.
Improving the lives of others can continue long after we are gone.
While the cost of an attorney drafting your will is surprisingly low,
the emotional satisfaction that comes with it is reassuringly high, as
Geneva shared with us.
Geneva recalled frst reading
in the local newspaper about a
fundraising efort to purchase
a cardiovascular ultrasound
machine for Seton Highland
Lakes. She then learned how
much charity care we provide to
our community, and that fundraising is often the only way we can
purchase state-of-the-art equipment.
Because her mother passed away too early from a heart attack at
the age of 62, Geneva found it meaningful to join us in our efort
to beneft our shared community.
To learn more about creating your legacy through a charitable
bequest, please call Tim Aronson at 512-324-4091 or visit
www.setonwilliamsonfdn.org. If you have already included our
organization in your planning, please let us know. Tis way, we can
ensure your wishes are followed, plus we can recognize and thank
you for helping Seton make a diference.
Meet Geneva Dalton
And Learn About Her Gift of a Lifetime
Make Your Will Known
Its a rare opportunity to give a gift that lasts beyond your
lifetime to care for others and to ofer hope to those yet
to be born. A gift through your will or estate plan is a simple
way to make a meaningful and lasting gift to the Seton
Healthcare Family. If you would like more information
on estate planning or need sample language for making a
charitable bequest, please contact Tim Aronson, director of
development, at 512-324-4091. If you have already put Seton
in your estate plans or IRA, or listed Seton as an insurance
benefciary, please let us know so we can acknowledge your
gift appropriately.
You can help Seton improve the health and lives of others by
including this language in your will:
I hereby direct $___________ (or percent of my residual estate) in
cash, securities or other property to Seton Williamson Foundation,
Round Rock, Texas. This gift shall be used for the further beneft
of _______( Seton Highland Lakes Hospital, Seton Northwest
Hospital, or Seton Medical Center Williamson)______. This gift
shall be used to ________(purpose)_______ .
